Page 70 animals and men learn from experience. Learning that the same event will always have the same causes. BY having an experience a man or animal learns that they are effected by what they do. For example if you touch fire you will get brunt. Because you got brunt you will not touch fire ever again. Your mother or father may have said DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE! ITS HOT! YOU WILL GET BURNT! But a child will not listen and when their parent is not looking they touch the fire and of course they get brunt.
Experience helps people and animals to learn and realize that the same event will have the same cause. Another good example of experience and effect is an electric dog fence. the dog must stay in the yard if he doesn't then he gets zapped. He will try to get out a few times but after he realized that he will get zapped when he cross the yard and he will no longer cross the yard.
I think that Hume's view on experience and effect ties into Locke and Descartes and there cause and effect. Because they are all basically saying the same idea that people and animals learn by doing and by what happens when its done.
